I really liked this video. It’s encouraged me to try weightlifting more than your videos about the elites, honestly. I think seeing a fellow mortal lift makes this much more relatable and even fun to try :)
Yeah I've had a pretty wicked arm bend in the snatch for a few years. I've put in a fair amount of work to stop it but at this point it doesn't feel like enough of a limiting factor to try to resolve considering how much work it would take to fix and how little it is holding me back.
I noticed the arm bend in the snatch also. In my experience bending the arms prematurely in the snatch DOES impact the maximum weights lifted in the snatch. This is why. Bending the arms at that point in the pull partially contracts the traps which reduces the force that we can exert in the final pull under the bar. If we keep our traps fully stretched out prior to the explosion/ extension off our thighs we are able to generate more speed on the bar, which translates into more weight lifted. You are too close to your meet now to change this but I recommend after your meet you try moving your snatch grip out ever so slightly and I'll bet you could eliminate this arm bend and lift more in the snatch. Give it a try and best wishes for your meet! Bob Roth
I watched this to see how Seb did in his contest prep and because I'm enjoying the content. But not even 2 minutes into the video I found myself saying "Wait! So Weightlifting House has weight plates?" I don't recall seeing them on the website when I was looking for the book on the top weightlifters of all time (I'm hoping a female version will be released soon). You all are doing a good job.
Can you make a video on barbells? Or address us to a channel that specialises on them? The barbells you use seem the same as those in my local gym but i dont know how much OHPs and then drop can then handle. Or if i'm pr-ing on deadlift/ squats and i drop it, i dont wanna let my gym without barbells ( small gym , 2 squat barbells max ) . I would appreciate some queues to see how new vs used barbells look, sound , move etc ! Good luck on your competition! Rooting for you!
Just wondering, but your backside is rising first during the initial pull in your C&J, is that an issue, or is that acceptable?... I've always worked on keeping my back flat during the initial pull, making sure everything moves as one... Great work though... 👏
@@WeightliftingHouse… Cheers, dude. Love the content, btw… I’ve gone from knowing nothing about the sport to knowing all the runners and riders and then started lifting myself, all with the help of weightlifting house… 😊
Though your equipment is very aesthetically pleasant It is very loud and clunky, i hope its the platform or the audio in the room cause am ordering a WH bar and plates in december
How old are you Seb? Seems like early 30s to me. Could you do a video about weightlifting strength decline with age? It would be especially useful for people who took up the sport rather late in life. Thanks!
So glad this was asked, I live in exmouth and was surprised to hear the location is newton abbot! Nothing ever happens down here, ha. I’ll donate for a ticket for sure and then head over on the day if I can to cheer :D

Seb highest Sinclair ever
Wow Seb has an arm bend, I did not expect that. Great job though Seb, PR’s are a lot of hard work!

@@WeightliftingHouse I blame my arm bend on my crew days, if that helps.
@@lhoffmom Perhaps I'll do the same!
@@WeightliftingHouse you’re welcome 😆 hey your lifts look great. Especially that power jerk technique.
Congrats on the new PRs!
That chair is legendary
5:20 The strongest man in the world. And Lasha.
those cleans looking easy
Would love to see a whole video of you watching yourself lifting and having a little chat, amazing edit
I always love the music on these videos

Who is that guy with the sumo clean? Phenomenal
Not the content the people wanted, but the content the people needed
If I was high watching this, @5:45 would have knocked me into oblivion. The fuck am I watching?
I got a comp on september 4th aswell looking to do 100/120kg at around 87kg bw. Hope I will beat seb
You will! I'm not planning on getting anywhere near those numbers at this comp. Good luck!
Competing in December 22. Making 95kg and 115kg at 87kg, 46 yo, right now. Let's see who does better! 💪😁👍
lol great job with the editing. 2 sebs are always better than 1
Seb's lifiting feels like the swedish chef talking.
Let’s go, Seb!
No one noticing the two sebs in one frame 5:50
I liked how you watched yourself at 6 min mark lol
Good stuff!
3:41 - I like the comfy chair!
You guys need some kind of weight rack for storing the plates. Messy.
Just wondering, but your backside is rising first during the initial pull in your C&J, is that an issue, or is that acceptable?... I've always worked on keeping my back flat during the initial pull, making sure everything moves as one... Great work though... 👏
The goal is definitely to keep the back angle the same as the bar moves from the floor to just above the knees.

@@victorcallemoff Well that sounds like a job well done!
are you competing in Loughborough seb?

Nice to see normal humans doing this shit!
when are we going to get to buy these nice looking wlhouse velcro belts?
Coming soon ;)
Hey Seb, no time to watch the video because I have to be the first comment, but when and where are you competing? We would love to support you!
Lift Me Up in Newton Abbot this Sunday, would be awesome to see you there. Come say hey if you make it.
So glad this was asked, I live in exmouth and was surprised to hear the location is newton abbot! Nothing ever happens down here, ha. I’ll donate for a ticket for sure and then head over on the day if I can to cheer :D
How to join thiss im a 250 dead lift
NG for the win
Mate you've got no chance
5:45 gave me an acid flashback
nice!
I’m sure you said somewhere in the video but what weight division do you compete in
I'll be 96 for this
How tall are you, Seb ? 6' 6" ?
Right around 6"1
What’s your body weight Seb?
I think he snatches bodyweight, though his numbers used to be better before his injury.
What song is this?
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
What’s the name of the song
Goodbye yellow brick road by Elton John
@@JazzWGaming thank you very much!
He had to sumo clean and squat jerk, ibwf standard!
Looks like Lasha wouldn't be able to train at your gym!
All fun and games till the camera man starts lifting like lu
오오 잘하네
aaaa aaa aaaa
#outtotalnick
Nick told me he downvoted your comment. Petty
@@WeightliftingHouse 👀
seb struggling to become a man ... but trying
is this the guy that said it looks like lu xiaojun has never been in a gym lol...oh the irony
It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a state organized doping program and a corrupt sport
It would be irony if I thought that I was particularly muscular and didn't realise that Lu would be extremely jacked again soon
Whats the song???
Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
